Good news about Jericho. Politicians are all the same. They will bum-lick anyone for a cross on the ballot paper

You might want to list the items in the classified section which is where items for sale are supposed to go...

The green-eyed monster probably, or alcohol and drugs...

Cecil's brother is dead now....ffs

Coffee and TV- Blur

Holland and Barrett have buy one get one for 1p including manuka honey. (I was visiting a relative in a surgical ward at UCH and a man asked for manuka to be put on his operation site. The staff refused and he kicked up such a fuss that they put him in a side room!)

Killing Yourself To Live- Black Sabbath

Not trying to re-launch a debate- just resurrecting a 'gentle' reminder that a cyclist at speed is a dangerous missile. Given the population of ED is dynamic, I felt compelled.

Southwark have also received monies from the EU for the Warm, Dry, Safe scheme. I am cynical about all of this however because of local democracy. It means that although the council receives the monies for schemes and it is ring-fenced it does not guarantee that the monies are spent on the front line....it could be used to extend admin at the town hall in those departments and central government can be accused of cut-backs...or given the extent of the leftie rantings on social media, people will assume it is government cut-backs. I hate the way that lefty, so-called 'socialist' councils use front line services as political footballs.

Stringvest says his dad has Alzheimer's and was called upon. This reminded me of when a relative was unconscious in intensive care and I gave my mobile number to the ITU (it was written in a book at the desk) The only other party with my mobile number with reference to this hospitalisation, were the police. Immediately after this I received endless pre-recorded phone calls from personal injury lawyers and can only surmise that someone from the hospital or the police had passed my number on. It was so invasive at the time that I have become cynical and suspicious about the lack of privacy at these times. I can't help thinking that our elderly relatives could fall prey to unscrupulous members of the 'caring' professions

Waiting at the pelican crossing outside ED station this morning I witnessed what could have been an horrendous collision. The lights were red and a pedestrian with Sainsbury's carriers was about to step off the pavement to cross (without looking- as you do when the green man is there!) when a youngish male cyclist came bombing across the red light....the expression of relief on the pedestrian's face (young man with beard) was priceless. After the court case this week concerning the pavement cyclist who could have killed a toddler exiting her front gate and the fact that a relative of mine has permanent damage to her foot as a result of a pavement cyclist who was never caught, and now this....Given the proliferation of cyclists on the roads and therefore an increase in irresponsible ones, we, as pedestrians should definitely take more care, since not much is being done to the idiot cyclists.....(excuse the sarcasm)

We went to a wedding near there once and we used the travel lodge near the Ski Slope if the worst comes to the worst at this time of year

Tesco Finest on the vine...fragrant

Since we are getting gentrified maybe there will be an upgrade to a Pound shop!

I hope it is not going to be held up to ridicule us in the USA...the worst thing has got to be Cadbury's Caramel

You should put it in the 'weird things in the garden thread'

A massive pile of old AA , AAA and the 9v batteries in one corner. A grapefruit spoon. A Romanesque concrete head. And enough builders' rubble and rubbish to fill a large skip

How can you call all that crap 'chocolate' is beyond me!

I always buy my books in the charity shops

Dulwichlad850 is probably the dad of one of them...the worst parents will defend their childrens' awful behaviour in front of them...golden ticket to be an a*sehole imo

See No Evil- R.E.M.

After 21st June I get more and more miserable because the days are getting shorter......
